Ashley Cole said today that he feels he owes a debt to José Mourinho after
failing to produce his best performances for the manager during his previous
spell at Chelsea.

The Portuguese went to great lengths to sign Cole – eventually securing him in
an extraordinary deal of £5 million plus William Gallas in 2006 after
Mourinho, Chelsea and the player had been fined a total of £375,000 for
breaking Premier League rules in making an illegal approach the previous
year.

Cole won the FA Cup as Chelsea finished second in the Premier League in his
only full season under Mourinho
